Jen Lada Joins the Emmy-Award Winning Show as a ContributorLee Corso Celebrates 20 Years of Headgear Picks

ESPN College GameDay Built by The Home Depot – college football’s longest-running and most-celebrated pregame show – will be live from Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis., on Saturday, Sept. 3, for the LSU and Wisconsin tilt (ABC, 3:30 p.m. ET), as part of college football’s best Kickoff Weekend ever. The weekly show airs from 9 a.m.-noon on ESPN and will be located in front of the Brown County Arena on Oneida Street. The visit marks the first to Lambeau Field.

“Lambeau Field is hailed as a football shrine and is as special of a venue as the game of football has to offer,” said Lee Fitting, ESPN senior coordinating producer. “It is an honor to be able to stage College GameDay from Lambeau as we kick off this opening weekend filled with top-caliber games.”

The visit to Lambeau Field marks a homecoming for Howard, who helped lead the Green Bay Packers to Super Bowl XXXI title and Super Bowl MVP honors.

Corso began making his entertaining end-of-show headgear pick of the team he thinks will win the game at the GameDay site. Opening weekend will be headgear number 277 for Corso, as he is 183-93 all-time in headgear picks. The phenomenon began on October 5, 1996, prior to the Ohio State-Penn State game in Columbus, Ohio when he put on OSU’s “Brutus Buckeye” mascot head to show his pick to win the game – watch here.
